“I, Samael, am not in need of henchmen or followers, but only imitators of my doctrine: Gnosis. I do not follow anyone, nor do I want anyone to follow me. What I want is for each one of you to follow his own Self. I am only a lighthouse in the sea of existence, and I do not need clientele in order to subsist. Since I am against the slavery of souls, I do not want to enslave any soul, nor do I agree with executioners of ideals. Masters exists in abundance, and I am only one of many; thus, those who want to find the Masters will find them inside, within the profundities of their own inner consciousness.
—Samael Aun Weor

Never lose faith
That you are more powerful than the enviroment around you. Today I saw something happen in public which was really not cool, and it made me think pretty negatively of my environment, along with the confirmation-bias of “ofcourse I’m not doing good in this shitty place: just look at that!” but it only took a few seconds for me to realize how not true that is. I was just convincing a friend the other day to not move far away because she thinks it would solve all her problems. And my reasoning was because no matter where we are, or what we’re surrounded by, we have the ability and even the tools to be happy and succeed. Even to be comfortable. No matter where you are. The tools are within us.
It may take more self-control, more hard work, more discipline, and more fighting the evil surrounding you, but it’s possible anywhere. If there’s something you can’t or truly should not do, it’s not because where you’re doing it, but what it is that you’re doing.
Have faith in yourself.

Dear Everyone:
Please do not mock people for having faith. Faith is an incredible trait and beautiful thing, and that is not where people fault. Mock people for ignorance, and believing radicals, and not having any sort of independent thought outside of what something else tells you. Having faith in something does not mean you are ignorant or a fucking douchebag, but it may so happen that something you believe in, a bunch of other douchebags also believe in. That does not make them wrong, and grouping people is just as wrong. Which leads me to my next point.
Please do not judge others. It is true: we all will judge people. But the point is to intentionally try to open your mind to every type of thinking that is not your own. You will learn a lot, and I’m pretty sure that judgment almost always comes from an ignorance of another point of view.
Please treat the working class with respect. If the McDonalds worker, who seems to be really stupid and probably uneducated and maybe even a jerk, messes up your sandwich, do not treat him like he’s all of those things. Give him the benefit of the doubt, and ask nicely for them to fix whatever it is. If he gives you shit then, then you can get mad. It’s not really recommended though.
This goes for everybody that has to deal with you. If you’re a customer anywhere, for anything, the employee is talking to you because they have to. Not because he/she likes you, or thinks your cool, or cares about your money, because the person you’re talking to is probably not getting your money. In all likelihood, they probably hate you, for talking to them. So be polite. It might actually make their day better, and they might make yours better by giving you good service.
For yourself: please do not be afraid to break the quota once in awhile. If you normally have the same exact routine every day, change it up. Just for the fuck of it. You don’t need a reason. Do things differently, go somewhere else, say something different, do something you wouldn’t normally do. I promise you will get something out of it. It will make your day better.
Thank you for reading. Thank me later.

This is the perfect representation of the almighty power of fiction. Many people argue that being an artist of some sort has no relevance in the real world, and this is the dead proof that it can be life-changing. As cheesy as it is, we all know it’s true.
Art, literature, music, these things teach you. They inspire you. They can do so much as inspire a person who had chosen to do something as far as, well killing themselves, and literally invoke in them the will to live and do great things to hopefully continue to make the world a better place.
